Ear Surgery in Vancouver

Name: Ear Surgery
Brand: JeunesseMD

The ears play an important role in overall facial balance, yet they are often overlooked until prominence, asymmetry, or shape becomes a concern. Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the position, proportion, and appearance of the ears while maintaining a natural look.

What Is Ear Surgery?

Ear surgery is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes, repositions, or refines the ears. It is most commonly performed to correct prominent ears that protrude outward, but it can also address asymmetry, irregular contours, or ear shape concerns. Otoplasty in Vancouver does not affect hearing. Instead, it focuses on improving the aesthetic relationship between the ears, head, and facial features. With advanced training and extensive experience, Dr. Rahmanian strikes the perfect balance between function and beauty.

During consultation, your surgeon will assess your anatomy and discuss whether ear surgery is the most appropriate option.

Ear surgery may be appropriate if you experience:

Ears that protrude prominently from the head
Asymmetrical ear position or shape
Irregular folds or contours of the ear

Dissatisfaction with the ear shape from childhood or injury

The Ear Surgery Experience

Consultation and Evaluation

During your consultation, your surgeon evaluates ear shape, cartilage structure, and symmetry. Your goals are discussed in detail, and a customized surgical plan is created.

The Procedure

Ear surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Incisions are placed behind the ear, allowing the surgeon to reshape or reposition the cartilage as needed. Sutures secure the ear in a more natural position.

After Surgery

Patients typically experience mild swelling and tenderness. A protective dressing or headband may be worn temporarily to support healing.
